Selecting orchestral sounds in Free Bass mode
1. To select Free Bass mode, simultaneously
press the three bass registers labeled “FREE
BASS”.
2. Simultaneously press the three registers
labeled “ORCH FREE BS”.
The flashing digit in the middle now shows the num-
ber of the last orchestral Free Bass sound you
selected, along with a dot.
The dot means that you are in Orchestral Free Bass
mode. The number itself flashes to signal that the
Free Bass section is active.
3. Press one of the seven bass registers to
select the desired sound.
In this mode, the following sounds are available:
The chord rows of the bass & chord buttons now play
the selected orchestral sound. (The bass buttons,
however, still play the selected accordion sound.)
NOTE
The dynamics of sounds marked with an asterisk (*) can
only be controlled by bellows movements. Those sounds are
not velocity sensitive. For the other sounds, see also
“Orchestra Bass/Chord Touch” on p. 48.
4. To leave this mode, simultaneously press the
three “FREE BASS” registers.
NOTE
You can change the volume level of the orchestral Free
Bass sound if it is too loud or too soft with respect to the
other available sections. See “Orchestra Bass Level, Orches-
tra Chord Level, Orchestra Free Bass Level” on p. 46.
